The --no-stdin does not help as well, but has other unpleasant results. It seems that jack_capture needs to have a console it can output things to. >From ~/.fluxbox/menu I am starting it as jack_capture -dc --meterbridge --meterbridge-type dpm --timemachine --port system:playback_1 --port system:playback_2 /dev/null and in .xsession-errors I get >>> Warning. Could not set higher priority for a SCHED_FIFO process >>> using setpriority(). >>> Waiting to start recording of "/dev/null" >>> Press <Ctrl-C> to stop recording and quit. >>> Recording. Press <Return> to stop. Finished. >>> Error: exec returned. >>> jack_capture encountered 1 jack x-runs. Furthermore, automatically reconnecting to jack applications which play back audio, does only happen if jack_capture/meterbridge have been started when that application (mplayer in my case) was already playing back.
